Mi Fly Short Striker Fishing Lure

This hand-tied hybrid spinner fly combines the lifelike movement of a traditional wet fly with the flash and vibration of a hammered spoon blade. The result is a versatile, high-confidence lure that draws fish in from a distance and seals the strike up close.

Bright yellow hackle flares and breathes in the water, while the gold-wrapped body adds a subtle natural glow. The dark hammered blade creates vibration and intermittent flash, mimicking an injured insect or small baitfish—especially effective when fish are feeding but not fully committing.


When to Fish This Lure
• Early morning and late evening when fish are actively feeding
• Overcast days or lightly stained water where vibration helps fish locate the lure
• After rain when streams are slightly higher and visibility is reduced
• Spring through fall, especially during insect activity and hatches


Where It Excels
• Small to medium streams and creeks
• Riffles, seams, and pool edges
• Downstream of rocks, logs, and undercut banks
• Gentle current where the blade can spin without overpowering the fly


How to Fish It
• Cast upstream or quartering across the current and allow it to drift naturally
• Use a slow to moderate retrieve so the spoon blade turns steadily
• Let it swing at the end of the drift—many strikes happen right here
• In still water, retrieve slowly with occasional pauses to let the hackle flare

This lure is forgiving and effective, making it a great choice for newer anglers while still delivering results for seasoned fishers.


Target Species
• Trout
• Panfish
• Smallmouth and other small bass

Each lure is hand-tied with care, balanced for proper action, and built to fish—not just to look good. No two are exactly alike, giving each one its own character and movement in the water.
